（1） Never. Not yet. Not yet been， seen， experienced; unprecedented; there has never been...; rare; unusual. （2） In Indian drama and aesthetic writings there was a style of poetry called adbhuta. This word means 'surprised'， or 'well I never....' Since the Buddhist scriptures were something not yet seen in the world， this word came to be used to term one kind of the twelve divisions of the Buddhist canon， the adbhuta 阿浮达磨， which are accounts of miracles performed by the Buddha or another deity. Also translated as 希法， 胜法， 奇特法， 未曾有法， and 未曾有经， and transcribed as 阿浮陀达磨， 阿浮多达磨， 頞浮陀达磨， and 阿浮达磨.
